REVEALED: APC FINANCIER OF THE BRINGBACKOURGIRLS CAMPAIGN by activatenigeria: 2:00pm On Aug 04, 2014
The new opposition group, BringBackOurGirls was actually created and sponsored by the media friendly party, All Progressive Congress!!!

The APC was exposed by a foreign public relations expert, Burson-Masterlla who was mandated under the laws of the United States to file details of its clients with the US Department of Justice.

According to the US Department of Justice, the All Progressive Congress (APC) and the Coordinator of the BringBackOurGirls approached Burson-Masterlla to help them organize public gathering of BringBackOurGirls in the United States. The APC was said to have paid $100, 000.00 (N165 million) for the assignment.

NIGERIANS SHOULD DEMAND FROM APC WHETHER IT IS A POLITICAL PARTY OR ALLIANCE FOR ANARCHY. See the report below:

NIGERIA: APC CO-FOUNDED “BRINGBACKOURGIRLS” MOVEMENT, SAYS FOREIGN PR FIRM PARTY HIRED [July 20, 2014] – The Will

… As Burson-Marsteller Confirms Engagement By APC

SAN FRANCISCO, July 20, (THEWILL) –The All Progressives Party (APC), Nigeria’s main opposition party, which hired foreign public relations company, Burson Marsteller, is indeed a co-founder of the Bring Back Our Girls movement, the PR giant confirmed over the weekend.

The revelation counters APC’s repeated denials that it had no hand in the formation or operations of the Bring Back Our Girls movement, a group pressing the federal government to do more to free the over 230 schoolgirls forcefully abducted by the Boko Haram in Chibok, Borno State, about three months ago.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) controlled Nigerian government, which has had spats with the Bring Back Our Girls movement, has severally accused the APC of hijacking and using the movement as a political weapon to harass and embarrass government over the unfortunate abductions.

A weekend news report in The Hill, a Washington DC based newspaper, that covers the US congress, said Burson-Marsteller also confirmed that it was also hired by the APC, which is presently battling allegations that its leaders are sympathetic to the Boko Haram, an Islamic terrorist group operating mainly in northern Nigeria, to arrange a single meeting with unidentified persons in the Obama administration in Washington D.C.

“The firm was originally approached to support a one-off visit to Washington, D.C. by the co-founder of the ‘Bring Back Your [sic] Girls’ campaign and other APC officials. But the visit was called off,” a spokeswoman from Burson-Marsteller wrote in an email.

We are in the process of de-registering with FARA [the Foreign Agents Registration Act], the PR firm said according to the newspaper, confirming THEWILL’s earlier report that the APC paid the PR firm $100, 000 for the botched meeting.

Mr. Lai Mohammed, APC’s National Publicity Secretary did not respond to our calls as at the time of filing this report.

ANOTHER REPORT FROM THE HILL ( A U.S NEWSPAPER PUBLICATION)

PR FIRM UNDER FIRE FOR CONTRACT WITH NIGERIA - TheHill [July 20, 2014]

One of the opposing parties, the All Progressives Congress (APC), and a co-founder of the “Bring Back Our Girls” movement in Nigeria, hired public relations giant Burson-Marsteller to arrange a single meeting in Washington D.C., according to Burson's account of a filing with the Justice Department under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). The contract is officially signed by Ladi Delano, named one of Forbes "Ten Young African Millionaires to Watch" in 2012.

The firm was originally approached to support a one-off visit to Washington, D.C. by the co-founder of the ‘Bring Back Your [sic] Girls’ campaign and other APC officials. But the visit was called off,” a spokeswoman from Burson-Marsteller wrote in an email. “We are in the process of de-registering with FARA [the Foreign Agents Registration Act].”

The one-month, $100,000 contract was abandoned after the meeting was canceled, she said.

Why is that a bad thing? Should everyone have acted like the president and his wife that the girls were not kidnapped at all?
